Bet This Dude Was Good At Hide-And-Seek

We searched the entire place, and he’s not here. Or … is he? Per the Northwest Florida Daily News:

Okaloosa County Sheriff’s deputies went to an apartment on Miracle Strip Parkway to arrest a man who had outstanding warrants. They unlocked the apartment using a key given to them by a resident and ordered the man to come out. He refused.

An initial search failed to reveal the man, so deputies searched again.

Curse you thorough police! – the man must have thought. Why?

They found a large pile of clothes in a closet and thought the man might be hiding under them, so they ordered him out. Once again the man refused.

He was told to come out several times but didn’t, and eventually had to be physically removed from the closet to be handcuffed.

As this was going on, the man was on a cell phone talking to another person, the deputies reported.

So, in addition to losing this round of the game, and facing the outstanding charges …

He’s been charged with resisting arrest without violence and has a Jan. 7 court date.
